and GX10B) are due for launch in 2022. This means the network will provide coverage to destinations like the Galapagos, Polynesia, and the Antarctic, extending to 76 degrees North and South of the equator.


Response to COVID-19 In the months after the start of the pandemic, there was an acceleration in the increase in enquiries from the superyacht market, asking specifically about reliable connectivity and global coverage. This follows a number of satellite operators and service providers entering Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which resulted in an impact for the end- users and in some cases service disruption. The expectation is that there will continue to be an increase in data usage onboard driven by crew and application usage and also the need to use services such as video conferencing.


In terms of the entire maritime business, Inmarsat has seen an overall increase in demand for satellite connectivity. For example, the average vessel, including superyachts, using its high-speed service increased its daily download data from 4 GB to 6 GB in the space of three months April 2020 to June 2020 driven by crew usage and the increased use of digital applications.


As the pandemic unfolded, Inmarsat worked closely with ISWAN (International Seafarers’ Welfare and Assistance Network) and maritime charities to offer free and


discounted services. Inmarsat offered crew access to ISWAN’s SeafarerHelp portal and live chat function via Fleet Hotspot, and also offered free voice phone calls to the service. It provided a voice call discount offer to its retail customers using FleetBroadband ChatCard voice services and to wholesale partners offering FleetBroadband voice calls under the legacy Crew Calling ‘SQT’ brand.


At the beginning of April, Inmarsat joined with VIKAND and software platform provider FrontM to provide a free COVID-19 video call service with a trained health professional. The new service ensures that users of Fleet Xpress service had and continue to have 24/7 access to video call VIKAND’s expert staff for information to help navigate COVID-19 related, medical questions. By facilitating access to timely information for superyachts, onboard uncertainty is reduced, decisions are more informed, and actions can be taken faster by those onboard to help mitigate and resolve risks.


Cyber security “Cybersecurity is always going to be an issue,” says Antoine Perry, founder and director of SeaSatCom. He adds, “It is already a subject when you use a VSAT as you go through the NOC (Network Operating Centre) of the LES Operator which has security into the server you use to go on internet. Combatting Cyber-security, Chris Schonhut says, “AST provides a shoreside MPLS network with Intrusion prevention


TELEMAR Beginning in 2021, Telemar Yachting Americas will offer BridgeLink service to our yachting clients.

BridgeLink is the premier IoT solution for the connected yacht. For more details Tel: +1 (954) 828 0270 or visit www.telemargroup.com


systems in-built adding a further layer of protection to the on-board firewall, this helps mitigate the risk against incoming cyber-attacks to the vessel from the external internet, couple this with effective end- point control on-board and the main limiting factor becomes the human element, whilst this cannot be controlled training and re- training on this subject for captains, crew, owners and guests is essential.”


Time is not about to stand still and the changes in VSAT


technology and use


requirements for superyachts will continue apace. In the coming months, Inmarsat forecasts a greater need for superyacht professionals to understand cyber risks onboard and ensure adequate steps are in place to comply with the Cyber Security Requirements for IMO 2021.


Be under no illusion, if you do not take appropriate measures, you will just become an easy target for the cyber bandits!
